Looks nice.

Umm, I'm no brake install expert, but everytime I've removed my calipers they're not in two pieces (one in hand, one still on the spindle) like I see in your pix.

Looks like he unbolted the caliper from the braket first, then unbolted the bracket from the strut. Unstead of just unbolting the braket and caliper all in one piece (much easier).

Also aren't your rotors on the wrong sides?

Thats a caliper piston spreader. It pushed the piston in so u can install ur pads. I got AEM pads and brembo crossed drilled rotors.
